as romney's campaign has faltered and his candidacy has lost the aura of inevitability. there has been as much talk about the possibility of a white knight candidate making a late entry into the race as there is about one of the remaining three candidates emerging as the republican nominee. and then there is the notion of the nomination being decided, ultimately, at a brokered convention, something that hasn't happened in decades. a loss by romney in michigan would probably only increase such speculation. why? polls have shown that republican voters are increasingly dissatisfied with the field of candidates. in a recent cnn poll, the number who were not very satisfied or not satisfied at all had jumped tothat 44%. in a january nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, more republicans graded the gop field as weak than strong. a new gallup poll shows that 55m of republicans and republican-leaning independent voters wish someone else werenig running, but that same poll found that those voters would much rather have a nominee who had secured enough delegates to win the nominatio
